Product details
Overview
TPS60500DGSR from Texas Instruments is an adjustable-output, high-efficiency step-down charge pump DC-DC converter optimized for space-constrained battery-powered systems. It delivers up to 250 mA at an output voltage programmable from 0.8 V to 3.3 V from a 1.8–6.5 V input, achieves up to 90% efficiency, and integrates power-good supervision and thermal/overcurrent protection. It is used in portable instrumentation requiring stable low-noise core biasing.
For engineers reviewing the TPS60500DGSR datasheet, TPS60500DGSR pinout, TPS60500DGSR application, or TPS60500DGSR equivalent, key selection criteria include its adjustable output range (0.8–3.3 V), 10-pin VSSOP package footprint, 250-mA maximum output current capability, and automatic multi-mode fractional conversion (LDO/2/3x/0.5x/1/3x) for wide-input efficiency optimization.
Technical Context
The TPS60500DGSR implements switched-capacitor fractional conversion with internal MOSFET switches and a 600–1200 kHz oscillator to dynamically select among LDO, 2/3x, 0.5x, and 1/3x modes based on VIN/VOUT ratio and load. Regulation uses skip-mode control below 150 mA and linear regulation above that threshold.
It features an open-drain PG output asserting high when OUT reaches ≥97% of nominal voltage, EN-controlled shutdown reducing quiescent current to 0.05 µA, and integrated thermal shutdown at 150°C. The FB pin accepts an external resistor divider to set output voltage, with max 1 MΩ total resistance.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Adjustable 0.8 V to 3.3 V via external FB divider - enables single BOM for multiple rail requirements. |
| Max Output Current | 250 mA - supports moderate-power digital cores (e.g., DSPs, microcontrollers) without inductors. |
| Input Voltage Range | 1.8 V to 6.5 V - compatible with single Li-ion (2.7–4.2 V), dual alkaline (2.4–3.2 V), or USB 5 V sources. |
| Peak Efficiency | Up to 90% - achieved via automatic mode switching (LDO/2/3x/0.5x/1/3x), minimizing heat in compact layouts. |
| Quiescent Current | <40 µA (typical) - extends battery shelf life during system sleep; drops to 0.05 µA in shutdown. |
| Power-Good Threshold | 97% of nominal VOUT - provides reliable system reset timing with ±2% trip hysteresis. |
| Switching Frequency | 600–1200 kHz - enables use of small 1-µF ceramic flying capacitors and reduces EMI filtering burden. |
| Output Voltage Tolerance | ±3% over line, load, and temperature - ensures stable operation across industrial temperature range (−40°C to +125°C). |
Pinout & Package
TPS60500DGSR is housed in a 10-pin VSSOP package (3.05 mm × 4.98 mm), optimized for high-density PCB layouts in portable electronics.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| EN (Pin 1) | Enable input | Active-low logic control; high disables device and isolates load from input, reducing leakage to ≤1 µA. |
| PG (Pin 2) | Open-drain power-good output | Asserts high when VOUT ≥97% of target; requires external pull-up to VIN or VOUT for system reset sequencing. |
| C1F− (Pin 3) | Flying capacitor C1 negative terminal | Connects to negative side of first 1-µF ceramic flying cap; critical for 2/3x and 0.5x charge transfer phases. |
| C2F+ (Pin 4) | Flying capacitor C2 positive terminal | Connects to positive side of second 1-µF ceramic flying cap; participates in all fractional conversion modes. |
| VIN (Pin 5) | Main input supply | Accepts 1.8–6.5 V; requires 2.2-µF ceramic input capacitor to stabilize source impedance and reduce ripple. |
| C1F+ (Pin 6) | Flying capacitor C1 positive terminal | Connects to positive side of first flying cap; forms charge-transfer path with C1F− during phase switching. |
| OUT (Pin 7) | Regulated output | Delivers up to 250 mA; bypassed with ≥4.7 µF (≤150 mA) or ≥22 µF (250 mA) ceramic capacitor for stability. |
| C1F− (Pin 8) | Flying capacitor C1 negative terminal | Duplicate reference to Pin 3 - confirms dual-path topology for robust charge pumping under varying loads. |
| GND (Pin 9) | Power ground | Common return for VIN, OUT, and internal regulators; must be low-impedance plane for noise-sensitive analog sections. |
| FB (Pin 10) | Feedback input | Connects to voltage divider (R1/R2) setting output; max 1 MΩ total resistance ensures accuracy and noise immunity. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Multi-mode fractional conversion | Automatically selects LDO/2/3x/0.5x/1/3x modes to maintain ≥85% efficiency across 1.8–6.5 V input and 0.8–3.3 V output ranges. |
| Integrated power-good supervisor | Open-drain PG pin asserts within 100–200 µs of VOUT reaching 97% nominal, enabling precise reset timing for DSPs/FPGAs. |
| Load isolation in shutdown | EN = high disconnects OUT from VIN, limiting load leakage to ≤1 µA - critical for long-term battery storage in handheld devices. |
| Thermal and short-circuit protection | Shuts down at 150°C junction temp; limits start-up current to 300 mA and steady-state output to 500 mA to prevent damage. |
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 40 µA typical no-load IQ enables >1-year shelf life in coin-cell–powered IoT sensors without compromising startup speed (80 µs). |
| Small-footprint capacitor solution | Requires only four 0805/1206 ceramic caps (CIN, C1F, C2F, COUT) - eliminates inductors and simplifies layout vs. buck converters. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar step-down charge pump applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS60501DGS | Fixed 3.3-V output; no FB pin or external divider required. | Eliminates two resistors but lacks voltage flexibility; unsuitable for multi-rail or custom VDD requirements. | Select when only 3.3 V is needed and BOM simplification outweighs adjustability. |
| MAX8632EUB+ | Fixed 1.8-V output; higher 300-mA rating; requires different capacitor values (2.2 µF flying caps). | Better suited for sustained 200-mA loads but incompatible pinout and feedback architecture. | Choose for higher-current 1.8-V applications where TI's 10-pin VSSOP footprint is not mandatory. |
Compared with TPS60500DGSR, TPS60501DGS removes design flexibility but reduces component count, while MAX8632EUB+ offers higher current at the cost of layout redesign and vendor lock-in - making TPS60500DGSR optimal for adjustable, space-constrained, battery-life–critical designs.

FAQ
What output voltage range does the TPS60500DGSR support?
The TPS60500DGSR supports an adjustable output voltage from 0.8 V to 3.3 V, set via an external resistor divider connected to the FB pin. This range covers common low-voltage rails for microcontrollers, DSPs, and sensors. The device maintains ±3% output tolerance across line, load, and temperature, and requires total FB divider resistance ≤1 MΩ for accuracy and noise immunity.
How does the TPS60500DGSR achieve high efficiency across varying input voltages?
The TPS60500DGSR achieves up to 90% efficiency by automatically selecting among five internal conversion modes - LDO, 2/3x, 0.5x, and 1/3x - based on the VIN/VOUT ratio and load current. For example, it uses 2/3x mode when VIN > 1.5×VOUT for reduced input current, and switches to LDO mode when VIN is close to VOUT to minimize dropout loss. This dynamic mode selection is fully internal and requires no external configuration.
What is the purpose of the PG (power-good) pin on the TPS60500DGSR?
On the TPS60500DGSR, the PG pin is an open-drain output that asserts high when the regulated output voltage reaches ≥97% of its nominal value. It provides a precise, low-jitter signal for system reset sequencing - for instance, releasing a DSP's reset line only after stable core voltage is established. An external pull-up resistor (to VIN or VOUT) is required; unused PG pins should remain unconnected.
Can the TPS60500DGSR drive 250 mA continuously, and what design considerations apply?
Yes, the TPS60500DGSR is rated for up to 250 mA continuous output current, but this requires specific design conditions: an output capacitor ≥22 µF (e.g., two 10-µF ceramics in parallel), input voltage ≥VOUT + 1.2 V, and adequate PCB copper area for thermal dissipation. At 250 mA, the device operates primarily in linear regulation mode, so thermal performance must be verified - junction temperature must stay ≤125°C under worst-case ambient and airflow conditions.
What are the minimum external components required for basic operation of the TPS60500DGSR?
The TPS60500DGSR requires only four external ceramic capacitors for basic operation: a 2.2-µF input capacitor (CIN), two 1-µF flying capacitors (C1F and C2F), and a ≥4.7-µF output capacitor (COUT). For adjustable output, two resistors form the FB divider. No inductors, diodes, or compensation networks are needed - making it significantly simpler than inductor-based buck converters while maintaining high efficiency and low EMI.
